In this episode physio, Andrew Goodall goes through ACL tears from how you are likely to injure your anterior cruciate ligament through the likely treatments and the phases of recovery and rehabilitation

As one of the major ligaments inside the knee, it plays an important role in stabilising the knee joint and helps to control the movement of the lower leg but is a common sports injury and Andrew shares great informative content that will help anyone to know what to expect from recovery and how to make sure their treatment is the right one for them



KEY TAKEAWAYS
The mechanism, force and speed at which ASL happens means it’s likely there will also be other damage
Calming the knee down means that it’s possible to get a good quality image and reduce the pain
Getting the quadricep thigh muscles working efficiently as quickly as possible will bring  stability
Initially, it’s about doing less but maintaining strength and function
For most surgery is part of the process and in the UK 80% of people have surgery
Taking a section of the hamstring tendon and using it as an ASL graft is the most common approach in the UK
It’s bespoke surgery for your needs, your situation and taking into account the factors that have predisposed you to being injured 
Rehab is likely to be around a year with anything less being exceptional progress
Phase one is calming down, phase two is the building of load and phase three will be moving closer to training
The final phase is preventative activities and a return to training



BEST MOMENTS

‘In some sports movements, the rotation through the leg translates as an inwards movement of the knee’

‘I’m essentially trying to come out of the session with a diagnosis and a plan’

‘If you can rapidly reduce swelling and pain the person is more likely to be able to use the knee and keep muscle function’

‘Stability is dynamic and controlled by lots of systems, it’s the integrity of the ligament that is crucial’
